Compact Antenna Range Analysis.

Abstract

This preliminary design study (methodology investigation) established the feasibility and cost of the reflector for an outdoor compact range with 50 foot diameter quiet zone. The U.S. Army at Ft. Huachuca, Arizona would use the range to measure patterns of microwave antennas mounted on vehicles and aircraft. Considerations included reflector configuration, size, focal length, surface accuracy, edge treatment, feed, quiet zone quality, manufacturing technology, erection, alignment and cost.
